Doesn’t peel stays on
The packaging was awesome on them. It doesn’t crack on your nails goes on and glass. You get a lot of nail polish for your money. It sticks very good when I want a polish over my nails with nail polish.

Spend extra and get this over Double Duty
Great topper for the price. Is *not* quick drying. I usually do my nails at night with a topcoat of Insta-dri or Dries Instantly (they are different lol but very similar). I let that cure overnight, then I apply Ultimate Shield in the morning. I've found that applying it under Insta-dri or Dries Instantly doesn't give as much protection as the other way around. US is way more durable than DD.

Best thing to protect nail polish
I love this a lot. Gets dry super quick and helps my nail polish stay longer. Very shiny and makes polish look shinier than ever. I never have chips with on top of it.

Tried-and-True Classic
I am normally an OPI Nail Lacquer fan, who decided to try Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail color. The Insta-Dri polish started chipping overnight and continued until I removed it on day 3. Disappointed, I found a 2-year-old bottle of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails #470 Unbreakable Heart and a bottle of Ultimate Shield Base & Top Coat. They went on smoothly and are holding on day 2. I don't expect them to last as long as a salon manicure, but I will extend the life of my polish with an additional topcoat as needed. These tried-and-true polishes are strong after two years, still liquid and not clumpy even after so long. This proves to me that Sally Hansen Hard as Nails is my most reliable go-to polish.

Quick drying, glossy, durable, easy to apply, and
I recently tried a new base and top coat, and I have to say, I'm impressed. The drying time is quite fast, which is a huge plus when you're in a hurry. The shine it gives is fantastic, leaving a glossy finish that really makes your nails pop. In terms of durability, these coats are top-notch; my manicure lasted much longer than usual. The application process is super easy, with a smooth brush that ensures even coverage. Plus, the chip-resistant formula means fewer touch-ups, which is always a win. Overall, these base and top coats are a great addition to any nail care routine.

Worth the price vs the pricey brands
I use this weekly. I remove the old and apply new. My nails are shiny and it drys fairly quickly. I use it as a top coat when I do polish my nails, it does help help the color last a bit longer and not chip off as fast.

Great top coat for the price.
This top coat is another must when I am trying to make my nails look nice and have my nail polish last. It has a pretty quick drying time and seems to last quite a while.

Gel Look without the damage
This base and top coat leaves nails looking like a professional gel manicure and I have had my nails done for over a week with no peeling or chipping. The beauty is that I can just remove with nail polish remover, no need to damage my nail beds. Worth every penny!

Best Top Coat
I use this every time I paint my nails, which is a lot! It leaves a great shine and more so makes my nail polish last even longer and prevents it from chipping longer!
